FRESNO.

Here 1 remained for "a hours and
spent one of the most enjoyable days
since leaving home, and also had the
pleasure of meeting more friends
from Kentucky. Judge Jas. Camp
bell, whose wife is now visiting rel
atives in Hopkinsville, lives here and
is one of the most prominent citizens
of the place. He is serving his Sec
ond term as Superior Court Judge Of
Fresno county and by judicious in
vestments in real estate has grown
rich as tho former village of Fresno
gradually developed into live, pros
porous little city of 5000 inhabitants.
I also met Jas. b. Campbell, who left
Hopkinsville six years ago and has
been practicing law in San Francisco
;or two or three years. He was at
Fresno on visit to his uncle, Judge
Campbell.
Fresno, like most of the towns in
the lower half Of the State, is grow
ing rapidly and real estate agents arc
constantly on the lookout for stran-
gers. Early on the morning follow
ing my arrival 1 was sought out by
one of the enterprising firms and
upon calling at their Office found
them with a carriage ready aud
anxious to show me the town and
surrounding country. availed my
self of the offer and conducted by Mr.
II. 1 Couts, whom l found to be
very clever and agreeable gentleman,
drove over the town and also took a
trip six miles into the country to
visit vineyards and orchards, some Of
which are the finest in California.
This drive was, for the most part,
through long avenues, with Lom-
hardy poplar or EUCALYPTUS trees on
either side. The fields and vineyards
were without fences, as the no-fencc
law prevails hore as in all the West
ern states. The country is level and
fertile, being tho faircst portion of
the great San joaquin (San Waukeen)
Valley. The land is all good, being
worth from $50 to $500 per acre, the
price being regulated in great
measure, by the improvements and
the facilities for irrigation. visited
several Of the scores of fine vineyards
surrounding Fresno. Barton's Of 6i0
acres, Buffers of 400, Ego's of 400,

and the Fresno Vineyard of 440 acres,
were among the largest and most

The removal and leading away of all the
colts was similar to that of the Trask pony.
Maj. Berry said if he had his harness he
would ride lis home. He once owned one of
these untamed steeds and was much pleased
with him.
DR.. Brickett's steed had to be grounded
before halter could be adjusted, and the
doctor employed seven young men to lead
his new accession home. He said he was
offered twenty-five cents for his bargain but
would not take less than fifty. He was on
the street yesterday afternoon enquiring for
carpenter who could drive nails and spikes
The doctor says he once owned a mustang
and it was the best saddle horse he ever had.
Mr.. Geo. Haskell gave the leading cowboy
$40 note to break his pony and ride him
home.

OF So was raised to see the cowboy ride one
of the bronchos, which he did in fine style,
sticking to the animals back, notwithstand-

DIVORCE STATISTICS.


At the last session of Congress an sppro-
priation was made to be expended for the
purpose of obtaining statistics in regard to
divorce in the States of the Union, the work
to be performed by the National Labor Bu-
reau of which Hon. Carol ID Wright is the
chief. The object of obtaining this infor-
nation was to give the legislatures a basis so
that in making laws there might be similar
ity of the statute regulations on divorces in
the various States. AS is well known at the
present time in many Of the States there is a
marked diversity in these laws which results
in much harm With this mouth the work
was begun and Wednesday night Mr.. Geo. G.
kimball of Washington, d. c., an expert, ar
rived in this city and is now here examining
the records at the Court House. Agents of
the bureau also went this week. one to Yer
mont and New Hampshire, another to Massa-
chusetts and third to Rhode Island and
Connecticut, the two former and the two lat
ter States each comprising district. The
number of marriages for the past twenty
years, NUMBER OF divorces, winch was the
omplainant, husband or wife and what the
complaint was. how many children were left
at the time of the divorce, are all to be show
by the figures. 1t will be labor of much
magnitude as in nearly all instances the
court docket does not show anything
further than that the divorce was granted,
and it is found necessary to overhaul the pa.
pers one by one. After securing the statis-
tics from this county. Mr.. Kimball will visit
another, and will eventually take all in the
State. 1t will perhaps require two weeks
here. 1t is not easy to estimate the time re-
CURED for the entire State as the collection of
divorce statistics is new departure Mr..
Kimball is a Maine boy, his native place be-
ing in York county. He went South when
very young, but came back to Maine to at
tend Bowdoin College, where he graduated
in 1862. He has not visited the State before
since that time.

Some months ago, apoor woman, with nine
children, ranging in age from a babe in her
arms to Is wears old, left Truro, N. H., for
some town in Massachusetts, hoping thereby
to better her condition. In this it seems that
she had not met with the success which she
hoped for, and decided TO make an effort to
get back to Truro. She laid her case before

The family was promptly passed on over the
Maine Central to Vanceboro, where they
were all fed by Mr.. G. w. Ross, with the
best that his fine restaurant afforded, and
supplied with quantity OF food to sustain
them the rest of the journey. The New
Brunswick Railway men were very willing
to carry them over their line to st. John. and
from that point they doubtless have managed
to get to their destination.

WASHINGTON.
The Eastport Sentinel reports that las
Monday evening, Aug. l, Miss Jennie Rem
ouf was driving in covered buggy on Key
street, between Broadway and Chapel streets
when the horse suddenly started as dog raI
out and barked in front of him. The young
woman knew nothing about managing
horse and from fright soon ceased to make
any effort to control him. The horse ran a
the top of his speed down Bates hill ant
straight over the steep descent at the foot o.
the street. She sustained bad break of the

cuts and bruises about the body.
YORK.
The first elephant on exhibition in New
England, and said to have been the first ir
the United States, was killed at Alfred, Me
in the year 1917, about one mile west of the
village, in piece of woods near the Round
Pond, so called on the old park road lead
ing to Dover, n. Fl. A man by the name Of
Davis had an alteration with the proprietor
of the menagarie the day previous, while or
exhibition at Alfred, and sought revenge by
shooting the elephant. The affair caused s
great sensation at the time throughout New
England. Davis was subsequently apprehend
ed, but for some cause escaped punishment
1t is said several citizens have in contempla
ton the erection of a monument or tablet, or
the spot where he was killed, which, 1t i.
said, meets with the hearty approval of the
great snowman. p. T. Barnum, who, i

feet at low water, was signed in December
last, and at the close of year was progressing
favorably. but the amount of work performed
was too small to make an estimate for pay
ment; Sl5, 900 has been appropriated for the
work, and a similar sum will probably com
plete the work if appropriated at one time
if doled our in iastallments it is believed the
cost will be materially increased, owing tC
the necessity for several contracts.

in other diseases, is the worst friend a
rheumatic person can have if it f1atters
him, and blinds him to all sense of dan

Leaving spas out Of count, therefore
leaving medicine treatment on one side
this paper will not have been written
in vain if can only get those of my
readers whom it concerns to remember
that this heart-breaking disease, rheu-
matlsm, depends upon an acid condition
of the blood and system, which, though
1t may be palliated by medicine and a
course of waters, baths, ETC., can only be
held in check by most careful attention
to diet and clothing.
Most people will do well reduce the
diet by even one half. All will do we'll
to live abstemiously, and TO abjure slim
utants, or let the doctor prescribe them,
because he will tell you that they must
only be taken with food.
Wooden clothing, then, legulated diet
avoidance of every thing likely to cause
acidity, regular exercise. the cold bath
before breakfast, open-air exer6ise-not
violent-and an annual and complete
holiday these will do more good in
quelling rheumatic tendency than
medicine or anything else.-TA Family

Points on Rheum a tism.

1t is truly matter of the greatest re-
greet that so many people are ignorant f
the true nature OF rheumatism, and of
Its Intimate association with the
ecoLomy of digestion. They come 10
spas, they drink the waters, they use
the baths, they live regular lives. and
AVOID excess; they enjoy quiet and free
uoIn from business, and 10! their pains
ana stlHnesses and weaknesses leave
them they are young again, and almost
forget they ever were Ill.
But away they go back to business.
aEd perhaps to pleasure, perhaps to IN.
orldled license in the luxurles of the
table; and, alas back comes the foe
with rush, and in mind and body thew
are worse IMAM they were before.
Inc same holds good as regards
course OF treatment taken without go
ing to spa.
You take any of the hundred and one
mealclnes also course of Turkish
Datns' ana one way or Wanted as CON-
pleIe cure OF rheumatism; you take
announcer, you manage to drive the acid on
which your trouble depends out of your
system. And all would be we'll and
good if stricter attention were maid to
e rules OF correct living, and errors of
c ct more carefully avoided.
The worst OF rheumatism is that every
attack leaves the sufferer more liable TO
another; that changes take pia ace in the
sheaths OF tendons; that del osits occur
around joints: that the smaller arteries
the minute, hair-like ramificatioDs
that supply the siDews and joipts-be-
come osslfied: that capillaries may loss
their elasticity and become ossifed. and
liable 10 burst even in vital parts; and
that hope, which is often q cure n itself
